Correct Answer :BExplanation :
Since the number is greater than the number obtained on reversing the digits, so the ten’s digit is greater than the unit’s digit.

Let ten’s and unit’s digits be 2x and x respectively.

Then, (10 x 2x + x) – (10x + 2x) = 36

9x = 36

x = 4.

Required difference = (2x + x) – (2x – x) = 2x = 8.

Question : 4 The difference between a two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the positions of its digits is 36. What is the difference between the two digits of that number?
